Regional rankings were released yesterday at DailyRelay.com.

 

To be considered for ranking, a team must compete in at least one dual meet (defined as a scored meet between four or fewer teams) during the indoor season.  Rankings take into account wins and losses, strength and depth of dual meet schedule, and strength and breadth of marks.

 

Here is the weekend schedule of dual, triangular and/or quadrangular meets involving one or more regionally-ranked teams.

 

East Carolina, Western Carolina and Duke at North Carolina

 

LSU and Texas Tech at Texas A&M
